The size-breakers for a Hobart P660 mixer with 8.6amp pull and 3 phase is the 23.43-inch size breakers.
3 pole circuit breakers are used for 3 phase lines
Type AE and AQ accept bolt-on breakers, type AL accepts plug-in breakers.
It depends. In a typical US residence with 120/240v single-phase power, the ground wire will be green, the neutral will be white, and the hot conductor will be either black or red depending on which phase it is connected to. Odd numbered breakers (1,3,5, etc.) are black, and even numbered breakers are red. You will measure 120v from black to white, also 120v from red to white, but 240v from black to red. In a commercial building with 3-phase 120/208 power, ground and neutral are the same color, but there are 3 hot colors - black (a-phase) red (b-phase) and blue (c-phase). As you run down a line of breakers from top to bottom they will be wired: black red blue black red blue etc. You will measure 120v from any of the 3 hot colors to white (neutral) but 208v from black to red, red to blue and blue to black.
The question isn't the number of amps total on your branch circuits, but rather, what your MAIN breaker(s) are rated at. This will determine what size of generator you will need. And be certain that the generator is 3-phase. <<>> The formula you are looking for is Amps = kva x 1000/1.73 x voltage.
Yes, there is a difference between single phase and three phase circuits.
The information from the equipments nameplate is needed to answer this question in a complete way.
The Hobart 5801 Bandsaw is definitely 3 phase.

You will need a phase converter. Avaliable at an industrial supply company like granger supply
Type AE and AQ accept bolt-on breakers, type AL accepts plug-in breakers.
simply four but also aplying diversity they may be increased depending on situation
Yes, three phase CDP (Central Distribution Panels) all use breakers to distribute the three phase supply voltage to their respective loads.
You should get a 3 phase generator that has 8-12 KW. If you had to you could use a 3 phase 5.5-6 kw but it may wear out faster because you are using 100% power. The 3 phase gen will allow you to select 480 volt which can be converted to 380 for the mixer. The rpm of the motor in irrelevant because the generator is the power source in this situation, once the gen powers the motor it will produce 1140 to power the mixer.
Your incoming 208V 3 phase power supply will also need an incoming neutral of the same conductor size. Then any single pole breaker installed in the panel will have 110 volts to the neutral. That is you can run 208V 3 phase motor circuits from a three phase breakers in the panel and any number of 110V circuits from single pole breakers.
Most of the breakers in a panel will be 120 VAC. Double height breakers are 240 VAC. A triple height breaker probably indicates you have 3-phase power in the panel.
3 pole would be for 3 phase, 4 pole would be 3 phase & neutral
